    Thanks to all of you who checked the constitutions of their countries
    for references to official languages.
    To Diana Santos: my contact at the Council of the EU has just informed
    me that there are no official documents defining what "working
    languages" are as far as the Council is concerned (I will have more
    details on the Commission in a week or so). There are obviously linguae
    francae for practical reasons: French and more and more English, but the
    rotating presidency of the Council (every six months) provides special
    opportunities for each country to put its language(s) at the heart of
    the translation effort.
    Regards, Bart Defrancq
